@rails11326206827:matrix.org@rails11326206827:matrix.orgDo you guys host your own email service or use specific service? Lots of self hosted apps have an email option for sending emails for notifications but I dont want/need that info going through say a Gmail account. I like keeping the data private. Any suggestions?17:43:51

  1. self hosting email is mega pain or up to impossible, depending on several factors
  2. email is pain

I use mailgun

@ifiguero:matrix.orgifiguero Depends if you are looking for a mailbox to receive incoming email to your domain or if you just want to deliver your mail to destination using your domain. 19:23:06
@ifiguero:matrix.orgifiguero Those are two different scenarios. What is often a pain is to provide mailboxes 19:23:45
@hashborgir:mozilla.org@hashborgir:mozilla.orgI use Exim4 and Proxmox Mail Gateway to send mails.21:06:27

I use mailcow dockerized, very easy setup, it quides you through the process for perfect email score (better than 365 default) and you can create aliases/temp emails and api keys for each service, in the last 3 years no issue so far.

@rails11326206827:matrix.org@rails11326206827:matrix.orgI guess I'm not needing a good reputation. I just wanted a simple email server so my self hosted apps could use the SMTP of it to send alert emails to my main email while I'm away.05:07:34
@rails11326206827:matrix.org@rails11326206827:matrix.org Or I could keep it all "LAN" only and just setup the mail client to read emails from there. No external service needed. 05:08:31

Hey,

Recently I bought a RACK that has 450mm in depth
And in addition a PC Case, which also has 450mm,

But now I realized...
If both has 450mm, then is it impossible for me to connect ETHERNET Cable?, not to say that I was thinking about fiber optics connection, which is sensitive to bending

I use my own mail server. It's a little hard if you don't already know how it works, but once you understood a few non-intuitive things it's relatively easy.

OpenSMTPD may be a good choice then. If you're interested I wrote a guide on how to use it to set up an email server with Dovecot, rspamd and other stuff, but you shouldn't need the whole thing, in your case a simple OpenSMTPD as a relay could be enough.
